Download Starduino for Uzebox (zip file) (uze file)
Shortly after releasing Starduino on Arduboy, Andrew (AKA CunningFellow) offered me one of his Uzebox DTV units (Big thanks).
The Uzebox is a minimalistic open source hardware game console which at it’s simplest incarnation consist of a few discrete components and a single ATmega644 micro-controller chip (SCART version). For NTSC output an additional AD723 video encoder is needed which still makes it only two ICs for a working game console.
Since there is no graphic chip, no video controller, and no timer-driven DMA on the ATmega644 the CPU has to constantly generate the video signal in real time. Not that this is an issue, just a bit of an extra challenge ( One that I was already familiar with ).
